onlywhenactive tag for swf's?

[Teko]

Hi,

Ive been using the actionscript integration tutorial to get my SWF's to animate once the page is visible. I was wondering if its technically possible to add the onlywhenactive tag like you use for VID elements to the IMG type. That way when the page is visible the SWF would play. The tag would do nothing for actual images of course (jpg etc).

Thanks!

Hi Teko,

I did try this once, actually, but I failed getting the swf to stop at the very beginning (sometimes it played some frames anyway... sometimes I still don't get how Flash's events work ). So I dropped it (after all, it could be some heavy loading / animating would start on the second frame, making it rather "random" when it's work and when not).

If someone else wants to give it a try and succeeds, I'd be happy to merge the code.

Regards,
Florian
